Predictors of walking capacity in peripheral arterial disease patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
OBJECTIVE: To estimate walking capacity in intermittent claudication patients through a prediction model based on clinical characteristics and the walking impairment questionnaire. METHODS: The sample included 133 intermittent claudication patients of

Diabetic foot disease and oedema [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are common and disabling, giving rise to significant morbidity and mortality as well as worldwide socioeconomic problems. Despite treatment, DFUs readily become chronic wounds and may lead to major lower limb amputations.

Evaluation of Cell Therapy on Exercise Performance and Limb Perfusion in Peripheral Artery Disease: The CCTRN PACE Trial (Patients With Intermittent Claudication Injected With ALDH Bright Cells).

open access: yesCirculation, 2017
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease affects 8% to 12% of Americans >65 years of age and is associated with a major decline in functional status, increased myocardial infarction and stroke rates, and increased risk of ischemic amputation.

Impact of Femoropopliteal Drug‐Coated Balloon Use on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal (FP) lesions have demonstrated superiority over standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in maintaining vessel patency. However, data on whether the good durability of DCBs translates into improved wound outcome in chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients are ...

Physical Activity Levels in Peripheral Artery Disease Patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Increases in daily physical activity levels is recommended for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, despite this recommendation, little is known about the physical activity patterns of PAD patients.

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1437-1446, April 2025.
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

Macrophage Efferocytosis as a Therapeutic Strategy in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Macrophages, integral to degenerated intervertebral discs, play a critical role in disc degeneration. By performing efferocytosis, they clear apoptotic cells. This article explores the process of efferocytosis, its molecular mechanisms, potential therapeutic implications for intervertebral disc degeneration and future strategies for targeted treatments.
